[Spoken]
If you're ever confused about performing, you should stand in a lobby and watch people come in. These are people that are willing to give up ten bucks apiece, give up their evening, come and watch you do something that hopefully you love to do anyway, and pay you for it. You get thousands of dollars playing for thousands of people when you want, where you want, what you want. And, uh, if that isn't a great job, I don't know what a great job is.
And so if you can't give that everything you got, if you can't return back to your audience some kind of gratitude for that, then I think you're a damn fool. And I've been a damn fool a lot in my life, but not that big a fool.
